Review: N2N Bodywear Vortex

The N2N Bodywear Vortex (NS2 version) is an extremely nice pair of bikini swimwear with contrasting colors crisscrossing above the pouch from the waistband to either side.  I was able to try the white with thin teal and silver stripes.  Other versions of this bikini have a wide stripe, I found the thinner stripe to be a much more suitable design   The white portion of the bikini is bright white and contrasted very nicely with my summer tanned skin.  The teal and silver stripes are also bright and shiny.

This bikini is 83% Nylon and 17% Spandex, and has a nice feel against the skin.  The material has a medium amount of stretch to it, but I found the large to be tight and a bit snug.  There is no liner in this particular bikini, which although quite complimentary , when it becomes wet I found to be rather revealing.  The white is not for the faint of heart as it can become somewhat shear.  Frontal coverage is adequate and the pouch size is ample enough for most everyone.  I believe the pouch to be fitted and enhancing with the way it is sewn.  The seat provides little coverage and was revealing as it did not come up far enough on my lower back to cover everything.

The price, as listed on the N2N Bodywear website is $26.  So, the price is fairly reasonable for a specialty pair of bikini swimwear.  The construction is fantastic with reinforced sewing and perfect angles to the fabric stripes.  Overall, the N2N Vortex Bikini is sexy, fun, and exciting.

Review: N2N Bodywear Odyssey Pouch Boxer

The N2N Bodywear Odyssey Pouch Boxer in color Aluminum was an interesting pair of underwear to try.  I say that because I found the coloring on the Aluminum to be exciting and fresh, but the fabric to be entirely too stretchy.  I enjoyed the styling, but found the waistband to be a plain piece of white fabric.  So, this may be the most challenging review I have had the pleasure of writing.

I will offer a bit of advice, be careful while putting these on.  The first leg was fine, but my foot caught the stretchy leg of the second and I nearly killed myself falling over.  Go ahead and laugh;It is appropriate at this time.  After pulling this pair of underwear up and on, I had to actually reach into the front and put myself into the pouch because of the way it was placed and sewn on the front.  The crotch fit close and I noticed the seam in the back was enjoying its high positioning.

While wearing this pair of pouch boxers (fancy name for boxer brief I suppose), I went on my normal routine.  After teaching a couple of classes at the college, I found the underwear to be supportive and extremely comfortable.  The waistband, while plain except for a fabric N2N logo sewn on the front, was comfortable.  The leg length hit mid-thigh and was great.  The waistband sat below the waist and felt a little low when compared to other boxer briefs.

This pouch boxer is 90% Cotton and 10% Spandex.  This makes for a nice feel, but it was a bit stretchy before washing (after washing they fit much better and were true to size Large).  The leg length was perfect and the pouch ample (there will be no complaints from the above average crowd with this pouch).  Aluminum was the coloring I tried with each pouch boxer receiving their own special coloring due to the dyeing process.

The price, as listed on the N2N Bodywear website for the Odyssey Pouch Boxer is $22.  The price is just right for a specialty pair of underwear that you will not find anywhere else.  The construction is fantastic with nice stitching and perfect symmetry.  Overall, the N2N Bodywear Odyssey Pouch Boxer is a fairly nice pair of underwear and would be a nice addition to any underwear collection.

Review: N2N Bodywear Bodywear Hula Boy X-Bikini

The N2N Bodywear Hula Boy X-Bikini swimwear in Black Lava has a great floral pattern in white, gray, and red on a black background.  This bikini has white stitching to add some flair to the waistband and seams.  Instead of having one piece of fabric running from front to back, this bikini has a separate pouch sewn into the fabric.  This is a great feature as I have found many bikini swimwear items to have an odd feel to them, but nothing odd here.  The fabric that runs through the crotch is slim at about two inches across to prevent bunching and pulling.

The pouch is ample and perfect for most guys.  The way it is sewn, it provides definition and lift to the front.  The seat covers perfectly and looks great.  There is a seam that runs between the cheeks to provide more definition to the rear and provides a little lift.

Construction of this bikini is 83% Nylon and 17% Polyester with no liner or draw cord.  The stitching is reinforced with the rear and the pouch to be sewn separately.[KN1]   There is a fabric N2N logo on the right side of the pouch.  Size Large was a great fit and was true to size.

The price, as listed on the N2N Bodywear website is $33. The price is a tad high for me, but this is for a specialty pair of bikini swimwear.  Overall, the N2N Bodywear Hula Boy X-Bikini swimwear in Black Lava is a perfect fit with perfect styling.

Review: N2N Bodywear Aqua Jock

The N2N Bodywear Aqua Jock (SJ1) has to be the most erotic pair of swimwear I have ever had the chance of owning.  It simply cannot be described how great I felt wearing it.  It definitely makes a clear, concise statement about a guy that would wear this to the beach or pool.  To wear this jock is to wear it to entice. All attention will be on you when you wear it.  If you dare….

in the pair that I tried has a white waistband and pouch while the leg straps are turquoise and silver striped.  The white portions are extremely bright, the turquoise is vivid, and the silver is slightly muted, but not quite gray.  The leg straps hit below the cheeks and lift while staying put.  The waistband has a draw cord that looks really hot if you leave it untied as it is on the outside and not on the inside of the waistband.

This jock is 83% Nylon and 17% Spandex.  There is no liner in the jock, which makes the white slightly see through when wet, but not overly so.  The white is revealing, but feels extremely sexy against the skin.  The pouch is ample and covers perfectly.  The leg straps are about an inch and a quarter wide and comfortable.

The price, as listed at the time of this review on the N2N Bodywear website is $34.  The price is slightly high for a jock, but it is a specialty pair of swimwear that you will not find many companies creating.  The construction is fantastic with reinforced sewing and perfect positioning of the leg straps.  Overall, the N2N Bodywear Aqua Jock (SJ1) is simply amazing.

Review: N2N Bodywear Raider X G thong

The Raider X G thong from N2N Bodywear is, at first glance, an interesting  thong.  The mesh look is very attractive, and the enhancing pouch does a great job “enhancing” (even if you don’t need any help with that).  The bright pink is a little bright, but I could see how it could be sexy.  If pink is not your thing, you at least have the ability to get the thong in white, black, or light blue.  The thong is an 86% nylon, 14% spandex blend which would be very comfortable if there were more slack in the thong part of the thong.

I decided to test-run the thong on a casual Friday at work (a desk job), which meant wearing them under a pair of jeans.  I managed half a work-day before I just had to take the thong off; it was that uncomfortable.  The fit in the waist was great, and I had no problem with the “enhancing” pouch.  The big problem was with the thong strap which loops under the butt.  It did not have enough slack to make wearing the thong for everyday wear all that comfortable.  At times the strap just tore into my but  and even made sitting very uncomfortable.  For short term use however, the Raider X G thong is a great thong with very sexy styling.

PROS

  • Sizing
  • Style
  • “Enhancing” pouch
  • Fabric blend

 

CONS

  • Bright pink color (minor since there are many colors to choose from)
  • Lack of slack in thong strap

Review: N2N Bodywear Popsicle G Swim Thong

The Popsicle G is very similar in design and feel to its thong cousin, the Raider X G.  Like its cousin, the Popsicle G has a particular problem with its thong length.  The Popsicle G does for N2N’s swimwear what the Raider X G does for N2N’s thongs: it shows off the butt and “enhances” certain features (whether or not you need the “enhancing” in the first place).  The Popsicle G features slightly more nylon than the Raider X G(87% vs 86%) in the fabric blend (87% nylon, 17% spandex), but otherwise it feels just like the Raider down to the elastic waistband.  This includes the lack of slack in the thong part of the Popsicle. My pair was dark pink with yellow stenciling, though N2N does give you a choice of yummy colors including: raspberry, glacial blue, lime, orange, and lemon ice.

I had an opportunity to give the Popsicle G a thorough trial in a private, deserted pool, Which was a good thing since the Popsicle became so uncomfortable while swimming around that I opted to just take it off completely and swim naked.  Most of the irritation was from the lack of slack in the thong strap, which loops under the butt to join at the “enhancing” pouch in front.  If there was a little more give in the pouch, the Popsicle G would be really comfortable to wear while swimming, and I am certain that it would grab plenty of attention!

Review: N2N Black Bikini


What are the words you would use to describe a pair of underwear you find incredibly sexy?  Whatever they may be, you will definitely use them to describe the N2N Black Bikini.  Black is the nickname for this particular line of N2N underwear and brings to mind a sleek, sexy look that is mimicked in the style and fabric.

The N2N Black Bikini is shiny, ultra soft and meant to enhance what you have up front with an ample pouch that stretches and fits like a glove.  The fabric is 80% Nylon and 20% Spandex.  The sides are approximately an inch wide at their smallest and the rear covers well.  There is a rubberized N2N logo on the back center seated directly below the waist.  The back of the bikini covers well and contours a bit as well.  From back to front, the pouch sits low and is meant to cover what you have up front and not much else.  The pouch is roomy and a nice size with the fabric allowing for plenty of stretch.

I wore these while driving two hours to work, working six and a half hours, a break at a local bar and driving home two more hours.  I wore these for a long day to see how they would hold up to everyday wear.  The fit was good, but I did feel a little warm throughout the day while wearing them.  The N2N Black Bikini may be best utilized as a pair of special underwear for dates, clubbing, etc.

The price, as listed on the N2N Bodywear website is $26.  So, the price is fairly reasonable for a specialty pair of underwear.  There are special instructions dealing with the care of the Black style:  *Chlorine, bleach, oil (lube, suntan lotion, baby oil, etc…) may break down the special matte coating of this novelty fabric.  I do not mind special instructions (cold wash and hang dry makes things last longer), but some guys would not want to take the time involved in special care instructions.

Overall, the N2N Black Bikini is sexy, hot, fun, exciting and thought invoking.  I thoroughly enjoyed this pair of N2N underwear and will definitely be saving them for special occasion.

Review – N2N Boot Camp Boxer Brief


I am excited about this new pair of N2N Boot Camp Boxer Briefs!   There is not much room for improvement on any of the N2N styles I’ve worn lately and this holds true for the Boot Camp Boxer Brief.  If you compare the scoring across the N2N styles I’ve reviewed previously, you will discover that this manufacturer is consistent with quality, construction and styling.  Likewise, if you compare the overall scores with those of their counterparts, the N2N brand is quite competitive—in many cases winning out on cost per pair.

What I like most about this design is the selection of complementary color combinations. This style is great for this time of year by offering the traditional summer white color along with a baby rib fabric, consisting of a 90% cotton and 10% spandex mix, completing the overall esthetic of these sporty boxer briefs.  This style is also available in white, black and olive green.  The 1 and 1/5th inch N2N branded waistband gives this pair an additional colorful punch with the black, olive green, and burnt orange striped color combination, all of which provides the appropriate width for a traditional boxer cut.

I wore these recently to the gym and they held up well during my workout, providing the appropriate level of support and ability to keep me dry.  If boxer briefs aren’t your preference, N2N offers these in a brief and jock that you might want to check out. However, if you’re a boxer brief kind of guy who’s looking for adding color and functionality to your undie wardrobe, you might want to seriously consider this style.

Personal scoring as follows:

 

Fit: 4.0
Materials: 4.0
Construction: 4.5
Look: 4.5
Daily Wear: 4.5
Overall: 4.3
